The YSRCP government promises that capital status for Amaravati, Kurnool, and Visakhapatnam will develop the state evenly. But Amaravati residents say it should be the only capital.
In 2016, then CM Naidu decided to develop Amaravati as capital of bifurcated state but by 2019, most work was halted after Jagan Reddy-led govt came to power in Andhra Pradesh.
The clock is ticking on naming Andhra Pradesh’s capital. While it’s Amaravati on paper, developments have been stalled since Jagan Mohan Reddy came to power in 2019.
Buggana Rajendranath says intent is to develop Visakhapatnam as place of natural advantage for businesses & not follow former TDP govt's 'impossible or impractical' plans for Amaravati.
Speaking in assembly, Andhra Pradesh CM Jagan also terms 'impossible' the six-month deadline set by the court for the government to develop Amaravati as the state’s only capital.
Minister Botsa Satyanarayana said govt is still keen on ‘decentralisation’. Court said legislature can't trifurcate capital, and wants Amaravati developed in 6 months.
Jagan govt had wanted Amaravati, Vizag and Kurnool as legislative, executive and judicial capitals. Andhra HC said state can't change capital city notified under APCRDA Act, 2014.
Andhra govt had appealed stay issued by Andhra HC last year on a probe into a case related to alleged Amaravati land scam involving a former advocate general and daughters of current CJI.
SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.
A common thread runs through the memories of soldiers of the 1965 war—ingenuity, courage and camaraderie that withstood an apparently technologically superior foe.
Many really smart people now share the position that playing cricket with Pakistan is politically, strategically and morally wrong. It is just a poor appreciation of competitive sport.
